Renewable Energy Firm Vivopower Leverages Crypto.com Custody to Expand XRP Holdings and DeFi Plans

Vivopower Teams Up with Crypto.com to Expand Digital Asset Holdings

Vivopower International, listed on Nasdaq, has teamed up with Crypto.com to secure and manage its growing digital asset portfolio, including XRP.

The partnership aims to strengthen Vivopower’s treasury strategy while supporting Caret’s digital asset mining operations.

How Crypto.com Will Manage Vivopower’s Assets

Under the agreement, Crypto.com Custody will provide institutional-grade security for Vivopower’s digital holdings.

The platform offers an end-to-end solution tailored for institutional and high-net-worth clients, ensuring secure management across multiple international jurisdictions.

Eric Anziani, President of Crypto.com, commented,

"Crypto.com was purpose-built for today and tomorrow’s market – being able to provide institutions a most comprehensive, safe and secure crypto platform for acquiring and managing digital assets. We look forward to supporting VivoPower in its digital asset treasury strategy, and continuing to position Crypto.com as the destination of choice for institutional custody."

Vivopower Shares to Reach 150 Million Crypto Users

As part of the collaboration, Vivopower shares will become tradable on Crypto.com’s broker-dealer platform, giving both retail and institutional investors access to the company’s equity.

Executive Chairman Kevin Chin highlighted the potential reach, stating,

"We are very pleased to have signed this partnership with Crypto.com to facilitate a listing for VivoPower on Crypto.com’s Stock platform, providing exposure to Crypto.com’s 150 million crypto native user base. Furthermore, Crypto.com’s custody services across multiple international jurisdictions will provide us with additional capacity for international growth."

XRP Holdings and DeFi Strategy Take Centre Stage

The partnership follows Vivopower’s strategic decision to increase its XRP reserves, with plans to acquire $100 million worth of Ripple shares at an implied price of $0.47.

This aligns with the company’s broader aim to integrate blockchain-based financial solutions and expand into the decentralized finance (DeFi) market.

The company has already raised up to $121 million to support its XRP treasury, reinforcing its position as one of the first publicly listed firms to hold an XRP-specific reserve.

Investors on Crypto.com will also gain access to XRP restaking through Flare Networks, which maintains an ongoing partnership with Vivopower.

This approach provides an additional avenue to optimise returns from their digital assets while supporting the growth of the XRPL ecosystem.

Corporate Treasuries Increasingly Look to Digital Assets

Vivopower’s move reflects a growing trend among publicly traded companies to hold digital assets as part of their treasury strategy.

Nature’s Miracle, a vertical farming technology firm, recently announced a $20 million XRP reserve plan, highlighting increasing confidence in XRP as a long-term corporate reserve.

By combining custody, trading access, and DeFi participation, Vivopower and Crypto.com are creating a model that offers security, liquidity, and investor reach while supporting the expansion of blockchain-based financial applications globally.
